Apps crashing on Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime

Multiple apps have been crashing all day today on my smartphone.  I've been searching for fixes online and finally found out that this is happening to all models of Samsung phones because of a faulty Google update that was installed earlier today.  The solution is to uninstall the Android System Webview app but I don't see any instructions on how to do that for  this particular model.  When I open the app, the only options are "Enable" or "Force Stop". It was already disabled when I opened it.  I pressed the "Force Stop" button to make sure it wouldn't mess up my phone anymore until the fix comes out. 

 

Do I need to completely uninstall this app?  How do I do that on the J3 Prime?

In your case, you may need to uninstall Chrome instead.

Settings → Apps → Chrome → click 3 dots on top right → Uninstall updates.

Hi tj2vegas,

Samsung is aware of this phenomenon which may appear on Galaxy devices due to the Google Webview issue and this problem was already resolved with the latest app updates of Android System Webview and Chrome, 89.0.4389.105 version.

Therefore please update these apps to the latest version on the following steps and restart the device.

[ How to update apps to the latest version ]

- Android System Webview : Settings > Apps > Search Webview > Tab Android System Webview > App details in-store > Update.

- Chrome: Settings > Apps > Chrome > App details in-store > Update

*If the Update menu is not available, please tap the Enable button to activate app update.

Thanks,
